Cat 5 cable standard lengths.

Cat 6 has to meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than cat 5 and cat 5e. This is the network cable that is widely used for 100base t and 1000base t networks as it provides performance to allow data at 100 mbps and slightly more 125 mhz for 1000base t ethernet. The cable standard specifies performance of up to 250 mhz compared to 100 mhz for cat 5 and cat 5e.
